Well got my bike started up for the first time and all lights were working. All of the sudden I lost my gear indicator lights, oil and neutral lights. Turn signals never worked. I really just need to know where to start. I accidentally grounded the wrong thing on the starter solenoid and got a bit of smoke but then fixed it immediately. Lights still worked at this point but then went out about a month later. Any idea what color wire runs these? I need to buy a chiltons.
 
I'll bet your brakes and horn don't work, either.

All of the circuits that you mentioned are fed from the same fuse.

It is the second fuse from the end.

No, you need to go to BassCliff's site and download a manual.

.
 
Not to mention Chilton's doesn't make a manual for our bikes - you'd have to get a Haynes or Clymers
 
Lol. Yes clymer is what i meant. Yes the horn is out also. I visual ly inspected the fuses n they look good but ill switch it just to make sure. I didnt see a manual on the 80 gs1000gl but ill look again. Thanks. Any idea what colors wires i should trace? Gotta pull the tank off anyways to do carb adjustments.
 
well im still trying to figure out the color of these wires for the gear indicators. pulled the fuse and its good. Bikecliffs site has a wiring diagram for an 82 gs1100 gk would that be the same as my 80 gs1000gl?
 
Did you replace the fuse with a new one? Sometimes the glass fuses can look good but are actually blown. You have a loose connection or a wire with worn through insulation that's grounding against something. Finding it can be a PITA but it shouldn't take too long, I just dealt with the same thing and it turned out to be in the headlight bucket.
 
Yeah replaced the fuse with one I had laying in my toolbox. Need to get to the store and get fresh ones just to make sure. Ill have to take the tank off and chase the wires.
